I realized that. I was pointing out that this is not a good idea if the
numbers get large. You can currently do that and handle it in a variety
of ways with smartuser directors like the one I suggested:

For explicitness, perhaps write
new_address = d1.$local_part@qualify_domain
It would be easy enough to have a table like
domain1.com: d1.
domain2.com: d2+
or whatever, and look up the prefix instead of hard-wiring it into the
director, making it easy to handle a number of domains.
